Finally some common sense prevailed and Litton will probably keep in the match if reports are true. Good that Mushfiq is either willingly or forced out of keeping duties which should have done in the 2nd Test against Pakistan. The little guy is too stubborn. If anything he should be the last player in the team to be insecured.

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Mominul
4. Mushfiq
5. Shakib
6. Nasir
7. Litton +
8. Abul
9. Shahid
10. Taijul
11. Jubair

Fatullah historically fav spinners. And Heath Streak said its unlikely to go with three pacers here. Im opting Rubel out for his excessive mediocrity in longer version. Abul isnt anything good though. Jubair must play. One of Chandika's fav sons. Another one Soumya is not ready yet for Tests imo.

Oh **** off back to your jizz bar.

India's a mediocre side filled with has-beens and never-will-bes. Virat is a **** and will be yorked for a pair by Rubel while Shakib takes 10 and India collapse to an innings loss. Double tons for Mushy and Tamim too.

That's a bit better. A bit of fire.

For your future reference, its not effective **** talking when you have to remind people who your team is.

Its also not effective **** talking when you are saying that you may lose to this team one day, but not in the next match.

So no Soumya or Mahmudullah? Stack the batting - I'm really hoping for a draw.

Did that for comedic effect tbh.

Expecting the Indian players to provide the lulz once the tests start.

20 wickets #Believe

Probably Bhuvi+Ishant. Unless India go for 5 bowlers, which I think they can pull off given how well Ashwin Bhajji and Bhuvi can bat.

Don't really need 5 bowlers when you have 2 spinners capable of long spells on helpful surface.

Surface won't be helpful tho, and Ashwin doesn't do long spells well. Bhajji and Ishant can go on forever but Bhuvi and Ashwin benefit from bowling shorter spells; they're so much better when they aren't in stock-bowler mode. And if the batsman you are leaving out is Nohit...then why not? Yadav's pace could really trouble the BD batsmen.

Is Shami fit? He's the best exponent of reverse, isn't he?

I'd personally go:
Umesh/Mohit
Shami
Ishant
Ashwin
and I suppose Jadeja or the leggie

Yea Shami hurt. I'd have him over Yadav otherwise.

India need to turn Ashwin into a legit number 7. He's the answer to all our problems, especially since we now have a keeper/bat better than MSD.

Dhawan/Rahul
Vijay
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
Saha
Ashwin
Bhuvi

Very solid top 8. Throw in 3 out of Ishant/Shami/Yadav/Jadeja/Bhajji/other bowlers in there, and it's a decent bowling attack too.

India's problem has always been the quicks tiring out and bowling rubbish in their third and fourth spells. Ashwin too becomes flatter and less effective as the game wears on. Without Ojha we (India) lack a bowler who can bowl 20+ overs a day effectively (I do not count what Ishan does as effective) I know there is all this hype of Bhuvi being able to bowl 10 over spells, but he's pretty toothless once the ball isn't swinging and has already broken down once. I'd rather we (India) use him in the niche role of new ball/reverse swing specialist and number 8 batsman. Ashwin needs a second spinner to help share the stock bowler load, Ishant is the short ball specialist (sigh) and can bowl all day, and then Yadav can provide the short, sharp bursts of pace. Or we (India) play Shami for the reverse swing spells. Depends on conditions.

4 bowlers just doesn't work. And Binny isn't every going to be a Test standard allrounder. We (India) have no one else. Just use Ashwin.

Saha has the goods. Won't be the best number 6 in the world but I can think of worse.

I am a Saha-fan. But I don't think he has the game to play at no. 6 outside the SC (remember we had Laxman or Ganguly there). No. 7 sure but not 6
